- Haunted house sketch.

- The haunted house sketch.

- New Michael and

superhero palace.

Guys, this is a

really good idea.

We'll be able to do material

that we've worked on

but haven't performed yet,

and also, it'll be

really, really silly.

So we need to book a palace.

Think about-yeah?

- It's been time when we-

it's time we can finally

make the algebra joke.

- Which one was that?

- I don't know.

I haven't thought of it yet.

I always wanted to make

a joke about algebra.

- Jerk!

- Guys, this is

gonna be so good!

This is gonna be

like on the level

of like a train that

Elton John is riding

in the Civil War.

- You go to Boston

like every day?

- What?

- You go to Boston

like every day?

Is that why I see you

all the time on the T?

- Yeah, pretty much.

- You should come to what

might be our last ever show,

this August.

- Where?

- We don't know

precisely where yet.

Do you know of any-

there's a bunch of

venues we're exploring.

- Nice!

- We haven't decided one yet.

- That's awesome.

I'd love to go!

- I spend a lot of time

actively avoiding people

so I can get my work done.

30 days til classes

start at Oxford.

I don't know how I'm gonna do

with all the things

I have to do.

I just,

literally don't know

what my priorities are.

I mean, Asperger's Are

Us is really important,

but I'm worried that

I literally cannot

devote the time to it

that I need to.

- It's been an interesting

ride, so to speak.

You know, when Jack was, say,

pre-school age,

kindergarten age,

you know, he had gotten his

diagnosis with Asperger's,

and we weren't even

sure he could handle

a mainstream school

or curriculum.

He was easily frustrated

when he was very young,

and he would have tantrums.

They'd have to clear

the classroom, you know,

'cause Jack was

acting up, you know?

But, as he matured,

he's come out of that

for the most part.

Still he yells at me.

You know, we're like

this some times.

Maybe we're too

similar, I don't know.

But

obviously he's doing very well,

going to Oxford next month.

One thing that's

hard for me as a dad

is that I like to touch,

and Jack doesn't

like being touched.

- It's not so much

I don't like it as

it just makes no

impression on me.

- Makes no impression.

But that's how I

communicate affection.

And he doesn't, you

know, you gotta have

the receiver as well as a giver.

I give it, but he

doesn't receive it,

so it's frustrating as a parent.

- Yep.

It's like feeding a skeleton.

I mean, you put

something in the bones,

it just falls through.

- Exactly.

- So basically

you're a skeleton?

- Basically.

- You know you're loved, right?

- Is

- Yeah, I know I'm loved.
